About this ebook
For decades Hudich, the leader of an evil army, had been held prisoner in a world called Pekel. Before releasing him last summer to save Max’s friend Cindy, Max’s grandfather neutralized Hudich’s magical powers with the aid of an advanced high-tech collar. Unfortunately, Hudich’s escape allowed him to relay a centuries-old secret to his followers that helps them find a powerful weapon.
With the aid of this new weapon, an ancient magical gateway, the enemy kidnaps Max’s mother and forces him to do their bidding by threatening to kill her. To keep his mother alive, Max will embark on another perilous adventure into new worlds with hidden dangers.
Convinced there is a spy among his friends, Max must decide who he can trust, if anyone, in his attempts to rescue his mother and destroy the enemy’s plans. His failure could free Hudich from the collar and leave innocent lives across the universe at the mercy of ruthless beings.

Reviews for The Hourglass of Souls (Max and the Gatekeeper Book II)
3 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Max's adventures continue in the sequel, The Hour Glass of Souls. Again, Mr. Cochrane has brought back his captivating story full of magic, other worlds, and interesting creatures. A wonderful story for children, though it is a little more grown up than the previous story. Favorite characters from the first book make a welcome return, with a few new characters introduced. Villains also return, more despicable than before as you discover the lengths they would go to for power. I would recommend this book to any kid 10+, and also includes more elements in this story to keep an adult entertained as well. If you've read the first book in this series, you absolutely must read this one!
